NAME
       what - show what versions of object modules were used to construct a file

SYNOPSIS
       what name ...

DESCRIPTION
       What  reads  each  file	and searches for sequences of the form ``@(#)'' as inserted by the source code control system.	It then prints the
       remainder of the string after this marker, up to a null character, newline, double quote, or ``>'' character.

BUGS
       As SCCS is not licensed with UNIX/32V, this is a rewrite of the what command which is part of SCCS, and may not behave exactly the same	as
       that command does.
